Barley moon glows so

Sagebrush smudges blot flutter
butter stained paper wings winding
a barley full moonslide, pinballing the crescent
through to inky countryside retreats.
The fast track hard tarmac negative white
and black slip to slip-road soft grey gives way
to earth path potent country lanes, moonwashed
blues ultra to indigo felt tip. Feather quill scratch-breaks
breaking a charcoal softening wave like river mercy
cradling the bends to sea. Turns headlight a hammock
across fruit trees daylighting the night drive
with colour and summer. My grain moon
longing a full green corn August glare
to golden when this sturgeon moon glows so.
full moon august - sturgeon moon, grain moon, green corn moon, fruit moon, and barley moon

Aaaaah. The sturgeon moon.
Aaaaah. The sturgeon moon. Someone sent me a news link earlier. Russian? Or Scots?
I really like the free way you've done this. It brings out the oral musicality, making it more prominent in a way by not emphasising the visual aesthetic on the page. Rimbaud would approve, I'm sure.
